Yes. Here, I'm calmed. I read the response before and replied to it. The
conclussion was that the maintainer team didn't want to provide this feature,
but they can't close the bug since the request is still valid. They choosed
to add a "wontfix" tag instead. Please read the log, it's all archived
(bug #272029).

Then please reopen and add wontfix tags. Note, however, that #272063 and
#272067 (specialy #272067) are unrelated to the first one and a refusal from
the team to fix #272029 doesn't imply a refusal to fix the latter. I would
appreciate an explicit message about them if that is the case.

Yes, it is. Not random though, we archive the wishes of our users in the BTS
in the form of "wishlist bugs".

If you look at lkml archives, you'll see how this is already being worked on.
It's not easy, though, since Linus has been quite uncooperative with
Xbox-related patches. I hope the same situation doesn't duplicate in Debian.

No, you have to keep it open untill either fixed or noone interested in it.

Yes, that's one of the points why it should be kept open.
Now I ask you politely to reopen these bugs and, if you consider it adequate,
add "wontfix" and/or "upstream" tags to them. Also please retitle #272029
to indicate it is about FATX filesystem and not Xbox support.
Thanks.
